Here, we describe the molecular analysis of ApxSC (cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase from a polyploid strawberry) genes. Fifty-three cDNAs encoding ApxSC were isolated from a strawberry fruit cDNA library. These clones were categorized (i) into nine homologous (95 to 99 %) gene groups on the basis of their nucleotide sequences and (ii) into four groups of similar (>98%) polypeptides on the basis of their deduced amino acid sequences. Sequence variation among the gene groups was dispersed throughout the gene, while differences among the polypeptide groups were observed only at three amino acid positions (9, 63, and 233). These results imply that the ApxSC genes show co-dominant expression resulting from multiple alleles. This hypothesis is supported by genomic blots and primer extension analyses.","PeriodicalId":11381,"journal":{"name":"DNA Sequence","volume":"222 ","pages":"475 - 484"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91461813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we report the cloning of the mouse Cbx31 HPlγ gene and the chromosomal localisation of Cbx3 and three Cfo3-related pseudogenes. The Cbx3 structural gene is located on mouse Chromosome 6, close to the Hoxa cluster. Two Cbx3 processed pseudogenes are separated by just 300 bp and are arranged in a head-to-tail configuration on Chromosome 13 while a third pseu-dogene is found on mouse Chromosome 4. The genomic intron-exon arrangement of Cbx3 is different from the conserved organisation of three other mammalian HP1 genes, Cbxl (mHPip), CBX3 (hHPly), and Cbx5 (mHPla) in that Cbx3 lacks an intron that is present in the others.","PeriodicalId":11381,"journal":{"name":"DNA Sequence","volume":"1 1","pages":"147 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90170634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
